Plant-Based Cottage Pie
This is comfort food at its best. You'll rustle up a tomatoey plant-based sauce packed with veg before layering it with creamy mash. Bake your pie until perfectly golden and dish up.

Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7 and boil a kettle
Chop your potatoes (skins on) into rough, bite-sized pieces
Add the chopped potatoes to a pot of boiled water and bring to the boil over a high heat
Once boiling, cook for 12-15 min or until fork-tender, then drain and return to the pot to steam dry
While the potatoes are cooking, peel and finely chop your brown onion[s]
Top, tail, peel and finely dice your carrot[s]
Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat
Once hot, add the chopped onion, diced carrot and chopped garlic with a pinch of salt and cook for 5-8 min or until slightly softened
Once softened, add your meat-free patty[ies] to the pan, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as you go (to resemble mince) and cook for 3-4 min or until beginning to brown all over
Tip: Try not to stir too often so the mince gets nice and brown!
Once the meat-free mince has browned, add your chopped tomatoes, vegetable stock mix, Marmite and a splash of cold water to the pan and bring to the boil over a high heat
Season with a generous grind of black pepper and cook for 3-4 min or until slightly thickened – this is your pie mixture
Meanwhile, return the drained potatoes to a low heat with a splash of milk and a knob of butter
Mash until smooth and season with a pinch of salt and pepper
Pour the pie mixture into the base of an oven-proof dish, then spread the mash evenly on top
Put the dish in the oven for 15-20 min or until golden and bubbling – this is your plant-based cottage pie
Once cooked, remove the plant-based cottage pie from the oven and leave to stand for 5 min before serving (this helps the flavours to develop and makes it easier to serve!)
Serve the plant-based cottage pie
Enjoy!
